    they never admit that Democrats can’t win without literally threatening everyone with the other side’s fascism…

    That’s some absurd reasoning. “pointing out how the GOP are literally acting like fascists is the stupid Democrats fault”.

    Get the fuck out of here.

      Really? Tell me again who are the ones “reaching across the aisle” as soon as the voting is done, enlightened centrist understander?

      Get the fuck out of here.

      No. I won’t.

        So you’re doubling down on blaming democrats for conservative fascism? Because you’re blaming democrats for conservative fascism.

          I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you simply forgot who it is that fascists actually serve.

          Want a hint? You need me to remind you which dems are proud capitalists?

            This “both sides” bullshit only flies until the one side starts actively pushing LITERAL fascist talking points.

              This “both sides”

              What “both sides?”

              How many Dem politicians did you see standing up for antifa when they were busy pushing the fash off the streets, Clyde?

              Did you notice Biden’s running mate? A proud memebr of the institution that was literally protecting fascists when they were marching in the streets?

              Again… what “both sides?”

            Are you in America? Because right now, in America, wr have literally two choices: shitheel Hitler or old establishment.

            I would LOVE it if we had viable third party candidates or ranked choice shit. But we don’t. So yeah I’m going to throw all my weight behind the candidate who ISN’T parroting shitheel nationalist rhetoric.

            Your complaints against Biden are valid and worth discussing… but it’s stupid and irresponsible to suggest that pointing out the fascistic tendencies of conservatives is the fault of the democrats.

      Democrats are not just pointing out that republicans are acting like fascists, democrats are actively funding and supporting fascists because they think of it as a valid strategy: https://www.npr.org/2022/06/20/1106256047/why-democrats-are-paying-for-ads-supporting-republican-primary-candidates

      https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2022/07/democrats-spend-millions-on-republican-primaries

      https://nypost.com/2022/09/12/democrats-spend-53m-to-boost-far-right-gop-candidates/

      Then they turn around and point at those candidates to say “we must defeat fascism”. The problem is that some of these crazy candidates actually get elected (see trump, as I pointed out with the link I posted about clinton’s team helping him). Democrats would rather slide into fascism instead of moving to the left, which is why they’re funding these campaigns and then claiming they’re the only way to fight it.
